White Americans are increasingly critical of the country’s social safety net, a new study suggests, thanks in part to a rising tide of racial resentment.
The study, conducted by researchers at two California universities and published Wednesday in the journal Social Forces, finds that opposition to welfare programs has grown among white Americans since 2008, even when controlling for political views and socioeconomic status.
White Americans are more likely to favor welfare cuts when they believe that their status is threatened and that minorities are the main beneficiaries of safety net programs, the study says.
The findings suggest that political efforts to cut welfare programs are driven less by conservative principles than by racial anxiety, the authors conclude. T hat also hurts white Americans who make up the largest share of Medicaid and food-stamp recipients. President Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans have proposed deep cuts to both programs.
“I think our research is very relevant to politics,” said Rachel Wetts, a doctoral candidate in sociology at UC Berkeley and the lead author of the new research. “My main hope here is that people take a step back, look at what these sorts of programs do for the poor, and think about what’s driving opposition to them.”
Wetts and her co-author, Stanford University sociologist Robb Willer, conducted three separate experiments designed to gauge white Americans’ attitudes toward welfare and the factors that influenced them.
In the first, the researchers analyzed 10 years of nationally representative survey data on attitudes toward race and welfare programs. Between 2008 and 2012 in particular, they found, opposition to welfare rose among all Americans -- but far more sharply among whites, who also began scoring higher on racial resentment scales during that period.

The real racists are the people who constantly point out race as the cause of the issue they are discussing.
The people at the washington post are your enemy, folks.

Freakin’ leftists dwell in the house of racism. It’s their first thought when they wake in the morning and their last thought before they pass out for the night and all their thoughts in between are based on race.
Ever since Obama took office, the number of articles about racism has skyrocketed. What a disaster he was for race relations.

I’v never understood why the productive members of society must subsidize the reproduction of the non-productive members. This results in an increase in the numbers of the least fit which is detrimental.
“Have you noticed all the ads on TV no longer have “white” families. Every ad has a white parent and mixed race children. I’ve heard the plan is to absorb white people.”
They have all but erased white men in commercials and replaced them with women and blacks. Why not erase them in real life?
Lol, “study.”
And white people who marry persons of color are colonialist oppressors. So kill whitey.
It’s a math problem, right.
Cos math be racist!
I think ‘Wipipo’ is now the term de jour
1. Chase
2. Erase

I have PARASITE resentment.
The Boston Globe,believe it or not,had an article back in 1994(I’m pretty sure) on ONE family that had been on welfare for FOUR generations.
A plethora of bad backs.
When I think of all the times most of us hauled ourselves to work——back back,headache,foot in a cast,and all the rest of the aches and pains we all get.
So what are the differences between white people and wypipo? The differences are too vast to quantify, but here are some examples:Most white people love animals, but wypipo will kiss their dog in the mouth and feed them with the same silverware they are eating with...
Everything is racism*

Anything and everything that impinges on Black privilege is due to ‘racism.’

And when they DO show a white male, he's either a dumb doofus using the wrong product or else he's a burglar trying to break into the beautiful suburban home of a lovely black couple.
race has zip to do with it. But when society has paid more and more and more of their budget for entitlements with no appreciable improvement, indeed, a quadrupling of the rolls, and when recent migrants are allowed to take advantage of programs originally narrowly designed for a specific population of select descendants, they’re fed up funding those 70-100yr old programs (3-5 ‘employment’ generations) that obviously aren’t working, and, are proven to be fraught with fraud, abuse and corruption.
